a contractor completed the construction of two buildings last year
The Keslo building cost 84.5 million
The Jones building cost 33.8 million
which statement is true when comparing the costs of the two buildings?
A: Keslo cost 2 1/2 times the cost of Jones
B: Jones cost 2/3 the cost of Keslo
C: Jones cost 1/2 the cost of Keslo
D: Keslo cost 3 1/2 times the cost of Jones
Is the answer D?
I believe the answer is A
0.4?
Whoa. Were did the Ms.Sue's comment just go 0.0
To compare the costs of the two buildings, you can divide the cost of one building by the cost of the other building.
Let's divide the cost of Keslo by the cost of Jones:
84.5 million / 33.8 million = 2.5
So, the cost of Keslo is 2.5 times the cost of Jones.
Therefore, the correct statement is:
A: Keslo cost 2 1/2 times the cost of Jones.
So, your answer D is incorrect.
No. I briefly posted the wrong problem.
It should be
84.5/33.8 = ?
